  • Bring Jim back

    Was a great podcast when Jim was the host. This was my favorite podcast and I looked forward to it each week. Now it’s just another average CRE podcast.

    If the guests on the hosts didn’t say “right?” at the end of every sentence, the shows would be about 5 min long

    I have enjoyed the new podcast, and have learned a lot about syndications. I consider myself more of a center fielder - i have both my 401(k) and stock investments, and i have 22 doors as well as 2 syndication investments.

    I was shocked to hear this latest podcast. I strongly wonder how Chris Miles can call himself a "financial advisor" without knowing these facts, as these are very basic for even non-CFP advisors.

    Blatantly false items -

    - they mis-represent the 4% rule completely. First, t... more

  • 4% Rule Episode was less than stellar

    I thought the 4% rule episode had nice points and I understood what they were saying, but I think they were a bit biased and went a little too far in their analysis…. I know plenty of people who exclusively utilize mutual funds or stocks to become financially free. It’s a proven strategy. Just because the study is old doesn’t mean there isn’t truth in it or the math still doesn’t work.

    This show is so needed and could be so great. But I listened to my first episode and it’s a non-economist spouting off theories.

    If you are going to talk about the economy, please have an expert on, not a biased individual who focuses on real estate for a living. And please focus on syndications - this is the kind of thing you can get on the other BP network, it’s redundant and goes against what should be a very niche area.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pascal Wagner on Cash Flow, Debt Funds, Portfolio Risk, and Building Deal Conviction
Q: How do you balance cash flow and appreciation in a volatile market?
He describes a dual approach: prioritize cash flow for the near term to meet family needs, while also seeking assets with inflation protection and potential appreciation, aided by tax strategies like depreciation to improve after-tax returns.
Pascal Wagner on Cash Flow, Debt Funds, Portfolio Risk, and Building Deal Conviction
Q: What sparked your shift toward debt funds and private lending?
Pascal explains that after prioritizing cash flow for family needs and recognizing the volatility of single-asset bets, he moved toward diversified, income-focused debt funds and opportunistic equity plays to stabilize cash flow while still pursuing growth.
Why Red River Is Building 206 Rental Homes in Waco, Texas
Q: What are the key financial terms for the Waco deal and how is risk managed?
Waco includes a 65% loan-to-cost construction loan with a large regional bank, $55 million total capitalization, about $19.5 million in equity, a five-year loan with SOFR plus 300 basis points, 3 years interest-only, and a 30-year amortization with potential refinances; risk is managed through a GMP with the GC, a ~4% contingency, and phased construction to start leasing early.
Why Red River Is Building 206 Rental Homes in Waco, Texas
Q: What is the high-level business plan and target markets for Red River's BTR strategy?
The plan focuses on strong, often secondary markets with solid population and job growth, selecting suburban infill sites around 15-25 acres with good access to retail and job centers, and targeting young professionals and empty-nesters as core demographics for Build to Rent communities branded as Trulo Homes.
Medical Office Investing: A Recession-Resistant Real Estate Niche | Jeff Axley
Q: Can you walk us through the deal dynamics of the Texas four-pack you mentioned?
We acquired the portfolio at a discount to replacement cost, with a 7% cap on low- to mid-20s rents, and we projected a 24% IRR on the deal given the reversion to market rents and the potential to sell buildings individually to doctor groups.
